Which glue?

Dear all,

 

We have metal web joists and some rather dodgy strongbacks - which I should have got sorted when the timber frame went up (won't make that mistake again) - I'm fixing the strongback issues but where the showers & bath are going I am going to further reinforce the joists by gluing and screwing some 18mm shuttering ply to the sides.  It may not make much difference but I will feel better having tried.  Cracked on with the first one tonight.

 

All going well until I put the D4 glue on and got it all in place - the D4 is just too runny - it was dripping out like crazy.  So my question - is there a glue which will glue wood to wood that doesn't have the consistency of runny cream?

 

cheers

 

:D

Pre cut everything before glueing up as this stuff starts curing as soon as it gets out of the tube. Use a very damp cloth to wet the plywood prior to offering things up as this stuff is moisture cure.
